On October 12th and 13th was the beginning production of Chino Community Theater Called "The Best Christmas Ever" and it was also the day they begin audition. I came on the 12th to ask Paul Larson,who was the director of this production, if he can be my mentor. I was afraid if he said no, since he didn't respond my e-mails that I have been sending for a while, but I still wanted to ask him in person because many people, that I talk to in the theater during the summer, told me that he was a great person to work with. So I went up to him before the audition began but turn out he actually knew me. I ask him how he knew me and he told me that some of the staff had told him about me when I came to the theater during the summer for acting class and for summer mentorship. I was surprise that some of the people I talk to during summer had told him about me. I ask if he can be my mentor and he said that he was gladly to do so. He told me I can get started by helping him with the audition on that day. He introduce me to his crew, who were helping him, and he appointed me to organize the audition forms for actors who wanted to try out. I was glad to do so.
The next day, Paul ask me to assist him during the second day of audition to see how the actors would try out in a audition. During the audition, He introduce his whole team to the actors who were trying out. But what caught me by surprise is that he introduce me to the actors and told them what I'll be doing here during the production. Not only that, he appoint me as the assistant producer, which I was very surprise. At the end of the audition, I thank him for letting me doing this and he told me that he is glad that I choose him as my mentor and he is hoping that I will fun of doing this, which I am.
Right now, I am helping out with whatever he needs me to do, but in the mean time, I am just observing him working with actors and see how he helping actors to practice better and improve there skills before the performance on December. I am looking forward of how this production will go and I am glad to be part of the team.
